Good morning friends and followers.
 
Another rolly night behind us the wind ha increased to a steady22 25 knots the waves about 3-5 meters despite of this we are making exelent progress with a record of 148 nm from 4 yesterday till 4 this morning in addition the 4 to 8 this morning covered 29 miles which is 7.2 knots I still find it quite amazing considering the wave hight that we can do this speed. The designer defiinatly knew a thing or two about how a boat should behave in heavy seas.Now to the leg of lamb last night.The outcome was exelent.But the task never something I would attemt again under such conditions.Now picture yourself in one of those simulators that you see on hydraulic legs i various theme parks simulating roller coasters or space rides.Then take a gimbaled stove and place inside it and make a leg of lamb this is the closest I can describe the experience.Anyway Magnar did an exelent job yesterday with extra helm watces during the ordeal.Magnar also send a special greeting to Julian
Last night we where ovrtaken by a Greek bulk carrier with a very helpful Chief Office that gave us a weater forecast for the next 4 days It looks good up till the 20 but after that we will get less wind and from ESE which is not that favourable.For the time beeing however we are enjoying very good wind or as we say in Norwegian. God Bor
We hope to be in the vicinity of the Azores by next Thursday.Will update ETA as we get closer and see the weather conditions
